Maggots consume dead or decaying organisms so they are classified as a decomposer.

Decomposition is a process by which organic substances, like leaves or dead animals, are broken down into simpler matter.
A lot of different types of organisms, called the decomposers, will consume the organic substances and continue an essential part of the nutrient cycle. These organisms can be both bacteria, fungi but can also be insects.

This is important for recycling the organic matter that occupies space in the biosphere and that way, continues the movement of energy and matter in ecosystems.

1.How does being made of many cells help large organisms maintain homeostasis?

Ugo [173]

Answer:

1.Small cell: has larger surface-area to volume ratio

Bigger Cell: has little space to volume ratio

2. Surface area to volume ratio, in simple means the size of surface area to the volume of substance that can pass through it at a particular time.

Amoeba and some bacteria's are flat and have large surface area to volume ratio. So the diffusion rate is very high due to large surface area.

Where as humans have small surface area: volume so diffusion is very slow or does not take place at all.

3. Diffusion and Cell Size

The larger a cell is, the greater the surface area available for diffusion. ... Smaller cells have a much greater surface area to volume ratio allowing material to diffuse throughout the entire volume of the cell quickly and efficiently.

Part B

The trait distribution most likely change over this time such that the plants with favorable traits, medium-tip leaves and drip-tip leaves will survive due to natural selection.

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection is the process by which organisms which are better suited to their environment survive whereas those not suited die off.

The organisms that are suited to their environment possess special features which enable them to adapt to changes in their environment.

Considering the plants in the rainforest with different leaf tips:

Trait A: medium-tip leaves
Trait B: drip-tip leaves
Trait C: wide-tip leaves

Since fungi grow in moist environments, it can be seen that plants with Trait C will be least favored to survive, while plants with Trait B will be most favored to survive by natural selection.

Thus;

In year 1: the composition of plants is 50% have medium-tip leaves, 25% have wide-tip leaves, and 25% have drip-tip leaves.
In year 5: the composition of plants is 50% have medium-tip leaves, 25% have wide-tip leaves, and 0 % have drip-tip leaves
In year 10: the composition of plants is 25% have medium-tip leaves, 75% have wide-tip leaves, and 0% have drip-tip leaves.

In conclusion, plants with favorable traits will survive due to natural selection.

Animal cell have which of the following characteristics

Tems11 [23]

Some characteristics include:

All animals are multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs, they have multiple cells with mitochondria and they rely on other organisms for their nourishment.

Adult animals develop from embryos: small masses of unspecialized cells
Simple animals can regenerate or grow back missing parts

Most animals ingest their food and then digest it in some kind of internal cavity. Somewhere around 9 or 10 million species of animals inhabit the earth.

About 800,000 species have been identified.

Biologists recognize about 36 separate phyla within the Kingdom Animalia.

Hope this helps,
